But, many new notebook computers don’t have an Ethernet port. So, what do you do next when you have this urgent email to send?\n\nOr, you simply prefer the speed and stability of an Ethernet connection, rather than Wi-Fi, to connect your computer to the local network or the Internet. Same question. What do you do when your computer doesn’t have an Ethernet port, but you have big files to upload?
